2 Fabulous Challenges!!

I know I've said this a million times, but I just LOVE challenges!! They really get my creative juices flowing!!
Okay...this first one if from 2 Sketches 4 You!! This sketch was super fun to work with!!



And here is my CPS#68! I made this for my Dad...the quote (got it from CPS also) was amazing and totally described how I feel!!

So EXCITED!!!

I am so excited to announce that I have made the Design Team over at Paper Popsicles!!! I feel so blessed to be able to design for such an amazing place!! I can't wait to get started!! :)

And, here is another BAM page I made...Chapter 4..."my family"! Like I've said before...I LOVE scrapping these 6x12's!! I've used a couple of stamps on this layout...the Big Swirl is from That's Jazzy Stamp Dreams...fabulous stamps!!! The brackets are Sassafrass...and the little owl (isn't he so cute) are from Inkadinkadoo (found them at J's for $1)!!

Book About Me

I've been challenged over at Paper Popsicles to start a Book About Me aka BAM...I guess I really never thought about it!! My kids have tons of layouts about them, but none about their mama!! So I started the first couple chapters (well I'm a little behind so will be working backwards...shhhh)! So here's my first page of Chapter 5..."my love"! I used the #10 sketch over at Triple The Sketch!
I made mine a 6x12...it was so much fun and very addicting!! You should give this size a try!!



So...do you have a Book About Me?

Father's Day cards & Teacher Gifts

I can't believe it is already a week into June!! Time sure if flying by!! Well, speaking about "time"...Father's Day is just around the corner! Here are a couple cards I made using Crate Paper! I just LOVE this line because it is very masculine and was super easy to distress!! The second card I used one of Sheila's stamps from That's Jazzy Stamp Dreams called Big Swirl...her stamps are so amazing!! I just loved this scroll and thought it added the perfect touch...since I wasn't able to use flowers!! lol




I'm sure some of your kids are already out of school...mine will be done with Preschool as of Wednesday and then will be graduating on Thursday night!! They grow up so fast!
Here are the gifts I will be giving his teachers...they were very inexpensive (especially when you are making five of them) and really fun to make! Here's another altered Starbucks bottle! I was able to find some pink M&M's and flavored tootsie rolls to put inside! And for the seeds packet...I just thought the "Forget-Me-Nots" were perfect in a matchbook style card! I hope these ideas will inspire you and help with any "last" minute gifts!
